Topic: Additional WAN for online gaming ...

[ph_matrix]

i have a question in here, i hope someonne in there will answer this , im using SME in my cafe, currently have 2 LANs, one for the DSL ( 203.160.177.9) and the other for the Local Area Network, the box works perfectly well, i installed some cbq, squidguard, mrtg, due to the  popularity of online gaming here in the philippines, eg ragnarok, MU Online, i am now in very particular for the round trip delay of the packet may travel from the server to the game server, online gaming works well when  then line is not congested, but the time when someone is downloading a file or streaming or even heavy surfing in other words when line congestion occurs or busty traffic ... chaos occur, i did try putting cbq on it, i found cbq works but still small packets is in chaos, so i found a solution on getting another DSL line exxlusive only for online gaming , so my question is how can i configure my SME to have 3 LAN, 2 for the DSL and 1 for local Area, i want to route the IP's of the online gaming server to the other line while the rest to its default DSL line. something like a static routing... thank u all...

Hi there,

Nice site, although it looks as tho you also need to redirect http://webmail.cyvilnet.cjb.net to http://cyvilnet.cjb.net/webmail in order to access the sme webmail? (I would be interested in how to do this too!

Not exactly sure how to this in detail, but I would say that using iptables/chains (can't remember which is newest), you would need to direct all of your web / e-mail traffic out of one connection, and then everything else that doesn't pattern match (i.e. all the ports that the gaming is using), gets sent to the other connection. I would guess the best way to do this is by port numbers, but this could get messy if your streaming software is using dynamic port numbers.

Maybe someone else can shed some more light on the subject!
